Act I, Scene vii:
The gates of Corioli.

[TITUS LARTIUS, having set a guard upon Corioli, going with drumand trumpet toward COMINIUS and CAIUS MARCIUS, enters with aLIEUTENANT, a party of Soldiers, and a Scout.]

LARTIUS:

So, let the ports be guarded: keep your duties

As I have set them down. If I do send, despatch

Those centuries to our aid; the rest will serve

For a short holding: if we lose the field

We cannot keep the town.

LIEUTENANT:

Fear not our care, sir.

LARTIUS:

Hence, and shut your gates upon's.—

Our guider, come; to the Roman camp conduct us.

[Exeunt.]
